Why get a land survey?

For any of the following reasons:

So that you can see exactly what you are buying or selling.

To determine if there are easement lines for utilities such as water, sewer, drainage ways, power lines, etc. on your property.

To know if there are any encroachments like driveways, fences or buildings on the property.

To know the exact property line measurements and the precise locations of all structures, fences, or driveways related to those property lines.

To determine if you are in a flood zone. (This is critical since Auburn’s flood maps are being revised. See flood determinationfor additional info.)

To be able to put up a fence on your property in the correct location.

To subdivide your property to divide it among family members. (SeeAuburn Subdivision Regulations) A subdivision plat is required for any change in property lines within the City of Auburn’s Planning Jurisdiction.

To make sure the building you’re constructing is on the lot, within the setback lines, and not encroaching on any easement lines. Again, the City of Auburn requires a site plan for any home construction. If the proposed home is closer than 3-feet to any setback line, then a land surveyor must set stakes for reference. All commercial site plans require a site plan as well as engineering plans.

To determine if your lot is usable for an onsite septic system. (While technically not a survey, these are commonly done by surveyors.) While most parcels in Auburn are near the municipal sewer system, an onsite system may be necessary in some cases.
